Free Slurpee Day At Maryland 7-Eleven Stores Is July 11

7‑Eleven Day only comes once a year and the convenience store giant celebrates its birthday by giving away its famous frosty drink for free. About 9 million free small Slurpee drinks will be given away from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 11, while supplies last, the company says.

"Free Slurpee day may be the most anticipated day of the year for millions of 7‑Eleven customers and new customers alike," Raj Kapoor, 7‑Eleven senior vice president for fresh food and proprietary beverages, said in a press release. "7‑Eleven Day is a celebration, not only of our birthday, but more importantly, of our customers. I encourage everyone to look around the store, grab an old favorite like a Big Bite hot dog to enjoy with their free Slurpee drink or maybe try something they haven't. We have lots of delicious new choices in stores."

The featured Slurpee flavor is Cap'n Crunch's Crunch Berries.

7‑Eleven is celebrating its birthday – and the “dog days” of summer – with $1 Big Bite hot dogs on July 11, and a week later on National Hot Dog Day, July 18. The featured Big Bite flavor is The Reaper, a spicy hot dog made with 100 percent beef and topped with Carolina Reaper seasoning blend. Customers can dress their dogs for free at participating stores with chili, cheese, pickles, onions, jalapenos, relish, pico de gallo and more at the condiment bars near the grill.

7‑Eleven, the first convenience store, was founded in 1927 when a Southland Ice Company employee began selling bread, milk and eggs on an ice dock in a Dallas suburb, the company says. The small ice business has grown into an international retailer with more than 10,000 7‑Eleven stores in North America and more than 59,000 stores worldwide.
